Abstract

Promoting the academic, social, and emotional growth of autistic children in secondary education depends on inclusive learning environments. This study examines the impact that inclusive learning environments have on autistic children, with a particular focus on Patrick Speech and Language Centre in Ikeja and Leunamme Special Needs Academy in Abule Ijesha, Lagos, Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach is utilized in this study to investigate the ways in which instructional methodologies, classroom accommodations, teacher preparation, and peer interaction all play a role in influencing the educational experiences of autistic children. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that individualized interventions, sensory-oriented classrooms, and student-centered support systems are successful in promoting student participation and academic performance. In order to make inclusive education more accessible in Nigeria, the study highlights the importance of increased awareness, support from the government, and the implementation of updated infrastructure.
